    I really needed to hear this. It made me a bit emotional. I always asked myself "why?" when my dad took his own life, but it isn't his overall depression that caused it, but the fact he kept fighting against it, instead of accepting it. Mental illness is very prevalent in my family on a genetic scale, and I think we've all tried so hard to not feel sad, when we should be using those moments to learn why we feel that way and how to change.

      Seperate note here is that sometimes this book verges on the side of toxic positivity which is also a problem because it makes certain things seem a lot easier than they actually are - i should have said this in the video. Constantly growing and changing isn't going to be the case all the time - so even accepting that is listening to your feelings and figuring out what they're trying to say.
      I'm sorry to hear about your loss Jade, I imagine that would be so difficult to process and so painful. The hardest thing I think when I was depressive for an extended period a couple of years ago is the trying to escape it brings so much shame which you eluded to. When you feel like you're having the "wrong" feelings or reactions it's an added pressure and shame that we put onto ourselves. Everyone does what they can to do their best - it's weird when you read or hear something and be like "hmm maybe I thought this thing that was helping me is hurting me in the longterm" - that's me when I read books like this!
      Thank you for sharing

    I love these "Sha'an's thoughts" videos! And for some reason, the timing of them has been impeccable. I've found that this year has been the year of uncomfy feelings and bigger decisions. Your video on routine actually helped me when I was really overwhelmed and felt like I was just drowning in my feelings and thinking I didn't know what to do (I'm working on listening to my gut more because more often than not, it usually knows what's up). Finding routine helped me self-regulate enough to process what was going through my head. Thanks for taking the time to share these personal thoughts with us. 💕

    i do love the approach of 'what are your painful feelings trying to tell you' rather than 'don't let them control you'. yesterday a friend told me that their therapist told them to use jealousy as an indicator of what they want out of life and their endeavours, and something clicked in me when they did. they told me they were jealous of the degree i was studying and how i moved interstate to do it and the things i got to do because of it, and because of that jealousy they decided to move their focus of their own degree to something similar - because being jealous of what i had experienced told them that *they* really wanted those experiences too.
    and i started thinking of my own university and studying journey and where i am right now and what i am jealous of my other loved ones in their lives (and honestly its not much which is nice, to know i am happy in my own life - but i was jealous of my best friend and how she has finished her degree and doesn't have to juggle studying and working anymore, which has informed some decisions about what i want to do with my own study going forward).

      This is so lovely! Because without that insight from your friends therapist, this emotion could have become a wedge in your friendship or other relationships. Instead you both are able to see the people you admire and use those things as inspiration instead of comparison. ❤

    i don't really comment much on videos, but this one really hits. i'm currently in a rough patch in my new relationship and i am so unused to the discomfort i often thought of ending things just to "get it over with" every time a problem presents itself. i am so afraid i'd be in a toxic relationship that i didn't realize i, myself have become toxic with my avoidant attachment style. needlessly creating negative scenarios to prepare myself, wanting to have control on things, suppressing thoughts at the moment and deal with it later -mistaking it for a healthy way of dealing with feelings when in reality it sprouts resentment in the long run. these are all something i did not know i needed to hear.
    this video came to me at a right time. thank you!

    I always get so excited when you upload a new video, you are such a wonderful and inspiring person, big hug to you from Germany ♥️ I am a psychologist and we say that no feeling is negative, feelings can be comfortable or uncomfortable but not negative because every emotion has a function, for example to protect us (fear) or to set boundaries for ourself (anger). If you listen to your emotion and realize that it is not functional (maybe because you learned that you should react with sadness rather than anger (we love those socialization don’t we), you can take this as a signal as well and try to find your emotion that is lying underneath. Just some rambling about emotions cuz it is such an interesting topic! Hope it makes sense in any way.

      also, avoidance can be it's own message - maybe you're not ready to face something yet. I know that can be true for me too - I guess the key is to just listen and see what all these things might be saying. feeling them is okay (i have to get used to this idea too haha). thanks for watching and for sharing!

  • @NanaSry

    I felt this as some sort of warm giant hug, the timing of this as I literally had this conversation with my new therapist yesterday about anxiety and avoidance of negative feelings, it almost feels like the universe is like "you're not alone, many ppl feel like you" bc really, everything you describe is how my brain works too it made me really emotional YwY but also hearing you talking about the feelings you're struggling with makes me feel like wanting to hold your hand and also tell you that you're doing so well in working on yourself and that I genuinely feel like you've done the biggest steps bc realizing everything you realized is really the hardest. I know anxiety really stripped me from the person I am bc it kinda stopped me from living my life so such a long time or I used to be but it also gave me much more empathy for others and for myself, it is weird to think about it but weirdly enough I came to accept that my anxiety also made me a better human in some ways, but i also have a long road ahead to not let those "bad" feelings turn me into an angry gremlin.. It's really a long process. I just want to say to anyone who's reading that you are strong!! But it's also okay to have bad days

    i love these kinds of videos! makes me feel like we’re all on this lil journey together. i love being reminded that as humans we’re all fundamentally the same, all scared of the same things, and no one is uniquely broken or messed up. i also love the idea that different parts of this chapter would resonate with us at different points throughout our lives - right now it’s the lost and directionless bit for me, cause i just finished my masters degree and i’d never planned this far ahead really, and all my actual goals and dreams as an artist feel a million miles away with no map on how to get there. and i’m so eager to get rid of that feeling that i never thought of exploring it and listening to it? what a laid back and reassuring video to start my morning! also that salad looked SO good 🩷

    This video felt like exactly what my heart and head needed to hear in this moment - I've already ordered the book, but also just hearing your personal thoughts on parts of it that stood out to you, I resonated with so much of it. I was honestly tearing up listening to you talk because, and maybe this is a me thing, I feel like sometimes we get so in our own heads that we feel like we're the only ones that feel that way and when you talked about feeling like you weren't a 'real artist' or allowed to take up space with other artists in the past, it just stopped me in my mental tracks because this is something I've told myself SO many times to talk myself out of new opportunities or trying new things or even working on my own craft and practice.
    The part about how our minds try to convince us our life is falling apart when we're actually in a good place - I can't tell you how times in the past year my anxiety has tried to convince me something bad is going to happen and deep down at the core of it I've realised it's a self-worth thing, where the work I've put in has finally started to pay off but my self-worth issues try to convince me it won't last.
    Honestly, I just want to reach through the screen and give you a big hug because this video really genuinely has made me snap out of an unhelpful mindset this week and realise that sometimes I'm choosing to make myself unhappy in a way.

    these reflective videos have been so lovely. 💖 i find it so interesting how we can hear the same messaging a million times but your circumstances and experience need to be in the exact right alignment for the messaging to absorb. and even then theres more to learn. the amount of aha moments ive had only to realize two years later that theres a deeper understanding to be had from that exact same messaging. inception of aha moments. lol
    im a graphic designer/illustrator who went back to school for early childhood education. GD/Illo. taught me such valuable lessons about understanding other peoples persepctives and being able to anticipate needs but i do think it also fed into my natural people pleasing tendencies. going through ECE i learned so much about how we are shaped cognitively, emotionally, and physically. i had so many aha moments in school about myself, my family, friends, strangers..but its also interesting how the more you learn the more you realize you know nothing, hahah. i really love the concept of emotions being little notifications from our brain. our behaviour is always linked to satisfying some type of need and its so hard to sweep away the protective layers to see that need sometimes. i always think about my life in cycles of observing → learning → doing. we cant do any of them without the other and i often shame myself when im in one part of the cycle and want to jump to the next. if i am struggling to move through an emotion or behaviour i try to remind myself its okay not to understand yet. maybe im just stuck in one of those stages. its so easy to just wallow becuase its not turning out right so im trying very very hard to shift my mindset to "maybe i cant move forward right now. i might need a break to feel a bit shit but i trust myself to keep trying. whether thats today, tomorrow or next week."
    always so rambly in your comment section lol
    p.s. regarding your final comments about people leaving long form comments and you reading/replying. ive always been so so impressed with how you engage with your community. i dont think any of us expect a reply but even when i see you replying thoughtfully to someone else im always filled with such appreciation for how genuinely you engage with others. you can tell that youve fostered a community where everyone is on the same level sharing thoughts without judgement. that takes skill as a creator navigating parasocial relationships. kuddos. 😊

    This was emotional. I went through something last year and until this day I rarely have happy days. And I feel I am in a loop that I can’t get out of. Feeling good or content seem a bit foreign to me since it’s been so long that I felt it and when I do it is only a matter of a very very short time like an hour or so. I am hoping that after I finish my internship and go back home and be with my family that I feels bit more relaxed. Anyways, I sometimes lose confidence that these emotions would fade and good ones will come as much. This sometimes makes me wonder how to accept those feelings and just let them be. Too much to say I am not in the best state haha

    I'm on new medication that has changed my nervous system, and it's making me experience anger from minor things for the first time... It's like these spikes that pop up when I'm at the top of overwhelmed, when I would probably usually crash out. It's happening at what feel like silly things - my partner talking too much about different map projection types when I'm hangry was most recent. And I've been trying to notice it and voice it and hear about how my partner reacts (I feel so freaking lucky cause they just see my overwhelm and aren't getting hurt - probably because I tone down my outer self so much that the worst they get is a withering look or "I'm angry now!" haha... Do I need to work on that?) But idk I don't have much experience with anger and I don't know how to practise feeling it! It's so strange!! Even talking about it here feels useful though. I hadn't conceptualised it as a peak to my overwhelm like that.
